What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
It feels a good deal more remote than that, with an air of pastoral calm worlds away from the rush of today's cosmopolitan London.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the Sussex High Weald, among thirty-five acres of William Robinson gardens and woodland.
The rooms
Each bedroom is named after an estate tree, pairing fine antiques and four-poster beds with fresh spring water drawn from the grounds.

Restaurant
The Dining Room at Gravetye Manor
Floor-to-ceiling glass walls look out across the flower gardens, and the Michelin-starred menu draws from the Victorian walled kitchen garden.
How it began
Sussex ironmaster Richard Infield built the manor in 1598 for his bride Katherine, whose initials remain carved into the stone fireplaces.
